Ach Mensch... Dabei war für mich PCEM eine tolle Alternative. Weiss man die Gründe? Im Forum kann ich mich nicht mehr anmelden (oder aber das gespeicherte PW ist falsch) und auf der Hauptseite sieht man nur... I'm done. This isn't fun anymore.

It seems the lead developer posted this on the forums a couple days before this. It is a lot of effort to maintain a project like this so I don't blame her at all after reading this:

You may have noticed there's been extremely little activity since the v17 release back in December. This isn't a sign of super secret dev work I'm afraid. I've been working on PCem for about 15 years now, and it's hard to keep enthusiastic about any one project that long. With the addition of Pentium II and Voodoo Banshee emulation, v17 saw PCem hit my long term goals of what I wanted to do with the project; it would be nice if it was a bit faster, but ultimately I've done what I originally set out to do.

I had considered just walking away, however if I did that now PCem would likely just wither away and die. So I'm staying around for now; there are bugs I'd ideally like to get fixed, and there are a few potentially interesting bits of hardware to implement. However, I want to really encourage more people to get involved with the project, and with the running of the project, so that when I'm done I can hand it over to people I trust to keep it going."

That being said it would be nice to see the forums restored but I don't feel this is a hack at all, just a human being who's exhausted maintaining this wonderful but expansive project. Forums require regular maintenance as well. Just be patient and in the worst case look for forks in the future, but I very much hope developers will come forward to continue stewardship of this project.
